Moses the dog returned to his Kresgeville home

It's a happy ending for Moses, the 18-month-old shih tzu-Chihuahua mix that went missing Dec. 17. The dog was found Friday on the porch of a home in Pleasant Valley Estates in Kresgeville and reunited with his owners, Sam Montalvo and his wife, Ileana.

It's a happy ending for Moses, the 18-month-old shih tzu-Chihuahua mix that went missing Dec. 17.

The dog was found Friday on the porch of a home in Pleasant Valley Estates in Kresgeville and reunited with his owners, Sam Montalvo and his wife, Ileana.

The experience has taught the Montalvos about what a generous community they live in.

Earlier this month, Sam Montalvo came across a Facebook group called “Monroe County PA Lost Pets.”

Montalvo explained his story on the page and several of the group's members met Jan. 4 at the entrance to Ken-Mar Acres off Route 534 to help search for the dog. Some members continued to search for little Moses on their own time, he said.

At about 8 p.m. Friday, Montalvo received a call from a man in Pleasant Valley Estates asking if he was the one missing a dog. The man took a picture of the dog with his phone and sent it to Montalvo.
